Platform Capabilities
One platform, every architecture capability
Every capability is deeply integrated, sharing the same data model and real-time engine. No bolt-on modules. One unified platform.
Architecture Modelling
Visual architecture on a living canvas
Drag-and-drop ArchiMate 3.2 elements onto an infinite, pannable canvas. Smart connectors and automatic layouts, with metamodel type validation, keep your models clean and standards-compliant.
ArchiMate 3.2 full notation
Every element and relationship from the standard, with the correct glyphs and arrowheads.
Framework templates
Start from an iterative architecture lifecycle, BIZBOK, BIAN and other framework scaffolds and industry packs.
Pannable, zoomable canvas
A fast canvas with smart routing and one-click auto-layout for enterprise-scale models.
Smart layouts
Hierarchical (Tidy) plus swimlane, layered, capability, landscape and TIME-quadrant models.
Version snapshots & restore
Point-in-time snapshots on every model. Compare against any prior state and restore in one click.
Multi-level operating model
Model per department, then compose them into one live org view. Roll-ups, saved perspectives, and slice-by-dimension.
Export anywhere
SVG, PNG, PDF, Archimate Exchange, and Open Exchange formats.
Diagrams
Diagram anything, fast, with AI
Beyond the architecture canvas, a dedicated diagramming studio for the everyday visuals teams reach for Visio, Miro or Whimsical to make. Fourteen diagram kinds, AI generation, paste-to-visual, a freeform whiteboard, structured shape data, and live collaboration, all in one platform.
14 diagram kinds
Mind maps, flowcharts, BPMN, UML, ERD, org charts, journeys, SWOT, business model canvas, value chains, fishbone, network diagrams and a freeform whiteboard.
Generate with AI
Describe what you want and get a laid-out diagram of the right kind, then refine it by hand.
Paste text → visual
Paste notes or an outline and Yantrio picks the best diagram kind and builds it.
Whiteboard & sticky notes
A freeform canvas for workshops and brainstorming, with sticky notes and live multiplayer.
Structured shape data
Every shape carries data like Visio. Custom fields, colour-by-field, CSV import/export and containers.
Built-in validation
Per-kind checks catch missing start/end steps, disconnected nodes, reporting cycles and empty sections.
AI Intelligence
AI analysis, grounded in your model
Describe what you need in natural language and generate standards-compliant ArchiMate diagrams. AI reads your model to surface gaps, risks, and opportunities, with every finding grounded in your data and citing the elements involved. Every AI feature runs on your own provider key (BYOK); results are advisory, not automatic changes.
Natural language to diagram
Describe a process or system; get a compliant ArchiMate model in one step.
Gap analysis
AI reads your model to flag dependency gaps and missing coverage, citing the specific elements involved.
Impact analysis
Change one element and trace the ripple across your architecture.
Current & target state
Define a target architecture and a target-state brief, then run gap analysis between where you are and where you're going.
Architecture copilot
A chat assistant grounded in your models, with answers that cite the elements they reference.
ADR workflow
Record architecture decisions covering context, options, and consequences. Changes follow an approval workflow.
Enterprise AI Studio
Run AI initiatives through a governed lifecycle: phases, gates, compliance checkpoints and evidence.
Real-Time Collaboration
Multiplayer architecture editing
Work together on the same canvas in real-time. See your team members' cursors, leave contextual comments, and manage changes through structured review and approval workflows.
Multiplayer editing
Google Docs-style co-editing with live cursors and presence indicators.
Live cursors & presence
See who else is on a view in real time, with their cursors and changes as they happen.
Review workflows
Review and approve changes on the canvas, with full sign-off tracking.
Contextual comments
Pin discussions to specific elements. Threaded conversations with @mentions.
Change notifications
Get notified when models you follow are modified, reviewed, or published.
Workspace roles
Owner, Admin, Editor, Commenter, Viewer. Granular access per workspace.
Import & Integrate
Start from your existing model and push changes out
Migrate from the EA tools you already use, then keep the rest of your stack in the loop with signed outbound webhooks. Live, API-based discovery connectors are on the roadmap.
Migrate from LeanIX & Sparx
Import an existing repository from a LeanIX CSV export or a Sparx EA XMI file.
ArchiMate Exchange
Open standard ArchiMate / Open Exchange files from any compliant tool.
Excel & Visio
Bulk-load elements and relationships from spreadsheets, or bring diagrams across from Visio.
Architecture-as-Code
Import and export your whole model as YAML, JSON, or CSV. Diff it in git.
Signed outbound webhooks
Push model events to any system with HMAC-signed, SSRF-safe webhooks. Every payload is verified and internal addresses are never reached.
Live discovery, on the roadmap
API-based ServiceNow CMDB and cloud discovery are in active development. Design partners help us prioritise.
Reports & Dashboards
Board-ready architecture reports
Generate professional reports for C-level executives, governance boards, and technical teams. 20+ templates and scheduled delivery, plus interactive dashboards that update in real-time.
20+ report templates
Application portfolio, technology radar, compliance, migration roadmap, and more.
Multiple formats
Generate reports in PPTX, PDF, and interactive HTML with live data.
Interactive dashboards
Drill-down dashboards with filters, charts, and architecture heatmaps.
Scheduled delivery
Automate weekly or monthly report generation and email distribution.
Custom templates
Build your own report templates with a drag-and-drop template editor.
Data snapshots
Point-in-time architecture snapshots for compliance audits and comparisons.
Governance & Compliance
Architecture governance that scales
Define standards and enforce compliance across your enterprise, tracking adherence at every level. Access controls with full audit trails, backed by automated policy checks, keep your architecture programme on track.
Standards engine
Define architecture standards and automatically check models for compliance.
Compliance scoring
Quantified compliance scores per model, team, and business unit.
Full audit trail
Every change logged with who, what, when, and why. Tamper-proof.
RBAC + ABAC
Role-based and attribute-based access control for enterprise-grade security.
Approval workflows
Multi-step approval chains for architecture changes and publications.
Policy automation
Automated guardrails that prevent non-compliant architectures from publishing.
